How many news did we get recently about such "tech" products becoming disabled because 2G was gone, because the app was gone, ... Road lights should last 20+ years, no app/connected system will last that long.
- antonvs 1y agoGoogle Maps is 20 years old. The connectivity at the traffic lights can be a small box, easily replaced, much more cheaply than e.g. traffic sensors under the road. If the system fails for some reason, such as an internet outage, traffic lights can fall back to ordinary timing. You’re not raising serious objections.
